-Religious Teachers: A Need and an Op.
portunity.
I. The Leader-Ezra (7:1-10).
1. Who he was (vv. 1-0. (1) A
priest (vv. 1.5). The leader of the lirsi
colipaly wits Zerubbabel, a sort ol
military governor. The great need ilom
was for a religious leader, for tht
people had gone far from God, as w(
see from the noble reforms whici:
Ezra effected. (2) A ready seribt
(v. (3). le was a teacher of the lam
of God.
2. His high ambition vv. 7-10)
(1) "lle set hils heart to seek the law
of the Lord" (v. 10). He deiiltely sel
out with the noble purpose to know
God's Word. To be successful in any
thing one must set out with a purpose
DAuilel was a success because lie "pur.
posed in his heart." Ministers and
Stnday-school teachers should hav(
this set purpose. (2) He set his nearl
to obey tho Lord (v. 10). H-e wias nol
only concerned with knowing God'.
Word, but to obey it. God's Word can
not fully be known by the intellect
it must he expxerienced. The essentia
quaiIlification for a teacher of the Bible
a preacher or Sunday-school teacher
is obedience to God's Word. (3) 1h
set his heart to teach Israel God'i
statutes an1d judgments (v. 10). He no1
only had a love for Cod's Word, but t
desire to implant it in the hearts o
others. When ono has an experientia
knowledge of God's Wordl he longs t
teach it to others.
I. is commission (7:11-20). Thi
king Artaxerxes gave him a copy o!
the decree authorizing hiin to lead a
company back to Jerusalem. 1-e wi
empowered (1) to collect funds (vv
15, 10) ; (2) to levy tribute (vv. 21
22) ; (3) to appoint magistrates an,
judges (v. 25) ; (4) to execute pen
ilties (v. 20). So great was the king'
confidence in Ezra that he gave al
these powers into his hand. For thil
great honor Ezra lifted his heart t
GodA In thanksgiving. He was mainl
concerned with the fact that he wa
to beautify the Lord's house an
acknowledge that God had put thi
purpose into the king's heart.
ii. The Company (8:1-20).
The company was snall-only 1,75,
males, but including women, childrei
lKnd servants, there were perhaps 6,004
to 7,000 people in this caravan.
Ill. Ezra's Prayer and Fasti
(8:21-23).
The first tihing he did was to seel
God's guidance. Not only God's lead
ers, but all Christians should seeli

Further, success camn only be realiwed

did not inilimize thme dangers attend

the king that the hand of tile Lord
would lbe upon all for good whom soughi

IV. The Successful Journey (8:24.
82).
God heard their prayer. The treas
nire entrusted to themi was great. Per
haps the entire value of all the money,
etc., was $5,000,000. F"or a weak eara
van to go on a Journey requiring fouz
months through a country infested by~
these robber bands, carrying such an
amount of money wats most perilous;
but Ezra kcnewv that God was able andi
would protect them. Note:
1. The care andl honesty (vy. 2-4-30),
The mioney was weighed unto1 them at

cause it belonged to God. Most exact
ing care should be exercised in han
duing the Lord's mnoney. We shmouh]
gulardl sacredly ouir trust.
2. Their safe arrival (vv. 31, 32)
Some four and one-half months weri
requiiredl to make the journey. God
Proved hlimself to be faithful, havini
protected them anid brought thlen
safely to their destinaltion.
